Vermont 50 Course and Trail Days Updates

Please remember: All runners and mountain bikers must be at the finish line by 6:30 PM.

This means participants must EXIT each aid station before its scheduled closing time in order to stay on pace to finish by 6:30 PM.

50-Mile Runners

To make the 6:30 PM finish cutoff, 50-mile runners must maintain an average pace of approximately 14.5 minutes per mile throughout the course.

50K Runners

50K runners have 10.5 hours to complete the course and must arrive at the finish by 6:30 PM. Plan on maintaining an average pace of 20 minutes per mile.

Please plan your race accordingly and pay close attention to the aid station closing times; which will be updated and posted soon.

If you arrive at an aid station after it has closed, you will not be able to continue on the course.

We want to see you cross that finish line! Know your pace, watch the clock, and plan ahead.

Good luck, and we’ll see you at the Vermont 50! 

Trail Days Updates
Sunday, August 30, 9 AM-Noon
Silver Hill Triangle, West Windsor VT
Hosted by Ascutney Trails Association (ATA)

The course for the Vermont 50-mile MTB race and ultra run needs a little extra work this year to get it into race shape.

So, ATA is having the annual VT50 course trail day a bit earlier to be sure that we can be ready for the race on September 27.

Plan to  meet at “The Triangle” (~1500 Silver Hill Rd., West Windsor) at 9:00 on Sunday, August 30th.

We’ll be doing weed-whacking, leaf-blowing, lopping and windfall removal (which may require a saw), so please bring appropriate tools, plus water, snacks, bug spray, sunscreen and gloves.

We work until about noon. Hope to see you Sunday.
